        Shame on @KagutaMuseveni he is censoring media and has ordered his militarized police to brutalize journalists for their work. #Museveni has denied the media access to #BobiWine @HEBobiwine just like any other dictator #FreeBobiWine #PeoplePower #OurPowerpic.twitter.com/JsVUcQpK7Z

        8th February 1985, BBC Radio interview, Focus on Africa program, interviewer -#Robin White, Obote said @KagutaMuseveni only speaks the truth by mistake I believe it now. I wonder how we started trusting a man who used child soldiers to win a war anyway...
